The Samsung Pro series M.2 SSDs are well regarded and high-performing, meeting all the requirements for use in the PS5. Well, every requirement except for a heatsink, which you had to install yourself. Samsung has removed this extra step from the PS5 SSD process and released its Samsung 980 PRO series SSD with a manufacturer-supplied heatsink right out of the box.PS5 Compatible Samsung SSDSamsung980 PRO w/ Heatsink PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 1TB PS5 compatible right out of the box.

However, Amazon has them listed as “temporarily out of stock,” which is fairly standard when Amazon puts a placeholder page up for an item its not quite ready to put out for sale.The Samsung 980 is one of the best PS5 SSDs you can buy, and being able to get one with a heatsink makes things just a little easier for you. Of course, you can always just go ahead and buy the regular Samsung 980 Pro and install your own heatsink, if you’re comfortable with that option. It will save you money, too.Seth Macy is Executive Editor, IGN Commerce, and just wants to be your friend. You can find him hosting the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast.
